AirPods Max

Even though there aren’t many rumors about a new AirPods Max model coming any time soon, we still suggest that you avoid these AirPods.

The reason is that they’re underwhelming, especially compared to their more affordable counterparts. The AirPods Pro 2 have way more features than the AirPods Max.

Not only that but for the price, you can get many other over-ear headphones with higher sound quality and longer battery life. Even the Beats Studio Pro, which are made by Apple’s Beats division, provide many of the same features are a better price.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like Apple will upgrade the AirPods Max in 2025, or even 2026, for that matter. The company did “upgrade” the AirPods Max last year by adding a USB-C port instead of Lightning, but that was the only change, and in doing so it actually removed a feature: the ability to use wired audio with the comapny’s 3.5mm to Lightning cable.

Needless to say, if Apple doesn’t care about the AirPods Max, neither should you.
